Latest project

Hi fellas! Here's a sneak preview of my latest project. The ground effects were scratch-built, as will be the intercooler. The wheels are 19" but I haven't decided which set to use nor do I have any idea what color to paint it. It will have a carbon-fiber hood and rear spoiler though.

Hey, cool someone's working on a Skyline R33 too.
Hey Tonioseven, let's see who can pull a Pman and get there's done in less than a week! The kit that I started is the Skyline GTS 25t Type M from Aoshima ( Its no R33 GTR, but looks very similar without the groundeffects on the body and minus the 4 wheel drive).
I have the suspension lowered and decided on which wheels to use.
I already got the body painted also. Hope to see yours done real soon!

Looks like its gonna be a real "ground-hugger" when finished !!!
:cool: :cool:
Keep us posted

:eek2: :eek: Damn that is going to be Low.


can't wait to see progress pics

If it were real, I'd want it to scrape up road reflectors!:cool: I'm thinking Acura Citrus Silver or Alclad Deep Blue-to UV Flip-flop. I'm gonna use the darker 19" wheels.

Great job so far!;)

Hi guys! My pictures are taken with a cheap camera but here they are. I have a carbon fiber hood and rear spoiler element but they don't show up well on the Tamiya Gunmetal paint. The wheels of choice right now are Nismo LM GT-1s. Still working on the interior; just received my Studio27 seat belt kit. Base kit was the Tommy kaira R from Fujimi. I'm kinda proud of my home-made ground effects kit. Thanks to Flyonthewall for the intercooler thread! Am now working on one since I opened up the front grill and removed the ugly molded-in intercooler; will cover the openings with fine mesh screen. Comments are welcome! http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/519835project2pic.jpg http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/822518project3pic.jpg http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/971974project4pic.jpg http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/492529project5pic.jpg http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/242920project6pic.jpg

Mmmmm, nice!

Giddy up with the ground effects!!!! I also like the idea of a scratch built intercooler

Very sweet looking...like to see some front and rear shots

I love it! Cant wait to see this one finished. Where are the manufacturer logo's from?

Thanks fellas! The logos are from the HKS Subaru Impreza kit and from different Aoshima wheel sets. I'll get some front and rear shots posted later today:) Do you guys think those wheels are alright?:confused: What color seat belt should I use, red or blue? The logos on the car are from: Blitz, Apex, HKS, Project u, Super TL(exhaust people) and Recaro.

Red!~ :)

I think blue belts will look better with the gunmetal exterior.

:licker: thars gonna be one nice skyyline, if u ask me:bandit:

Groovy skyline.

RED belts will look good IMHO

Does anyone have any suggestions for seat belt placements in a Skyline?:confused:

what sort of belts Racing or standard seat belts?

That's looking awesome! :cool: :D

Great job on the kit... paint job it perfect! cant wait to see it finished

my supra i just finish kind of looks like that i made a kit for it out of epoxy putty didnt do the best job on the kit since it was my first time but i painted the body gunmetal some ts-42 and a black hood looks bootiful in my opinion just some in perfection i wanna do the kit again but this time put more effort into it

Looks great, the side skirts make it look a little like the LeMan racing version.

You're much farther along than I am. I get preoccupied with other things and kits to finish. Its looking good. I love the color. I wanna start mine again soon.

Here's the finished product...Enjoy!!

Looks very nice! Looks like your paint came out very good aswell. Nice big rims on the back, nearly make it look like it has deepdishs on it! I've nearly finished my HKS Kansai R32, but it don't look anywhere near this good.

Sweeeet :ylsuper

:shocked: Looks awesome! I was waiting for this thing to be finished! Well-Done! :coolguy:

Thats so nice. I love the body kit, someone should make a how-to-make body kits, like the intercooler thread by fly. That was so detailed and im gonna try it when i can get my hands on some styrene sheets. Great car, can't wait to see the finished product.

THANKS FOR POSTING UP MORE PHOTO'S.....IT REALLY IS A VERY VERY NICE KIT YOU HAVE BUILT.....Opps sorry...bloody caps :( :(

Here are some more pictures I took recently.:)

Anyway, Very nice Tonio!!
